Pamela Anderson announces return to the stage in Tennessee Williams play
Pamela Anderson is set to return to the stage in a production of Tennessee Williams ' Camino Real at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
The 57-year-old Baywatch star
The Williamstown Theatre Festival takes place in Williamstown, Massachusetts from July 17 to August 3.
Anderson has been cast opposite Nicholas Alexander Chavez, who played Lyle Menendez in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The play, which also stars Whitney Peak (Hocus Pocus 2), will be directed by Dustin Wills and has an overall ensemble of 15 actors.
According to the festival's official synopsis: 'The Camino Real is a dead end, a police state in an imagined Latin-Mediterranean-American country, and an inescapable condition.'
Characters 'from history and literature such as Don Quixote, Casanova, and Camille inhabit this phantasmagoric plaza where corruption and alienation have nearly destroyed the human spirit.'
Last year, Anderson attracted critical acclaim and awards buzz for her role in Gia Coppola's movie The Last Showgirl, which told the story of a veteran dancer in Las Vegas named Shelly (Anderson) on the verge of retirement.
Anderson's career renaissance has come after the most challenging period of her life was dramatized in the series Pam & Tommy, which recounted her relationship with her ex-husband, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, whom she divorced in 1998 when Lee was sentenced to six months in jail for assaulting her.
Anderson recalled in January finding out about the Hulu series – which she says was made without her permission – while she was working on her own Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story, which was released around the time of her memoir Love Pamela: A Memoir of Prose, Poetry, and Truth.
'I didn't know anything about it. I didn't have any involvement,' she said of the Hulu series. 'No one called me, which was so strange, and that was hurtful.'
She went on to say that she regarded The Last Showgirl as the 'best payback' because she could celebrate getting recognition for her own work, and not for portrayals of her personal life.
'I mean, it's just one of those things. It happened and now I'm here, and so this is the best payback … I'm being seen and recognized for my work and not these tawdry moments,' she said.
'I don't dwell on it, but it was kind of a strange thing to pick a very terrible time in my life and make entertainment, and people were nominated for Emmys and all sorts of stuff,' she added.
'And that's why I was laughing with someone the other day – Pete Hammond was telling me, 'All these people have won awards basically playing you, but not you'… I guess they did it better than me.'

Kate Moss' unlikely inspiration from Pamela Anderson after huge transformation
Kate Moss appears to be taking inspiration from Baywatch legend Pamela Anderson as she stepped out at a huge celebrity party after ditching her make-up Kate Moss has taken inspiration from Pamela Anderson as she made a major change to her appearance. Original supermodel Kate is known for her glamorous appearance, but the 51-year-old made a huge change to her looks for a rather extravagant celebrity event earlier this week. The mum-of-one has always been known for her chiselled complexion and striking looks, but the model oozed sophistication on Tuesday evening while attending the 70th birthday of Sam McKnight in London. And it appears that Pamela Anderson was Kate's inspiration behind the bold move. Baywatch pin-up Pamela has gone completely make-up free in recent years and has been praised for the move. Now, it seems as though Kate is following suit as she stepped out completely makeup-free. Kate looked absolutely radiant as she posed with Sam at the glitzy event. The model, who found fame in the early Nineties, happily posed for photos with Sam, wearing a striking sparkling dress which perfectly complemented her famous physique. Kate completed her look with a pair of dainty gold earrings, while her blonde hair was swept back off her face and held together in a bun. Wellbeing is no stranger to Kate, who has her own beauty range, Cosmoss. But Kate has previously admitted her skincare routine isn't too high maintenance, despite being one of the most recognisable faces in the country. "I'd have to say I'm not very high maintenance when it comes to doing my own makeup," she previously said. Speaking to Vogue while putting on concealer, Kate added: "If I go out on a night... I'll put more on obviously, do an eye. During the day, I keep it pretty basic." And she previously switched her life up for a more relaxed outlook, explaining that she had been "meditating and doing yoga," giving her a new lease of life. She also sleeps with a facemask on after being advised by her daughter, Lila. Meanwhile, Pamela completely ditched make-up, joining the likes of Meghan Markle. "I did notice that there were all these people doing big makeup looks," the American actress said. She added: "It's just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone's doing." Pamela previously opened up to Allure, explaining she didn't think people would notice her decision. She said "I just thought, 'I'm not competing with all these beautiful people,' I like that it resonated but it wasn't my intention to… Thinking everyone's going to get into this thing. But as I noticed it was resonating, I thought, this is really great." Kate's outing, however, could have been very awkward. Over the weekend, she snubbed her pal DJ Fat Tony's wedding after discovering her former Primrose Hill set pal, Fran Cutler, was on the guest list. Kate was due to walk down the aisle as a bridesmaid alongside reality star Gemma Collins and Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney. But Tony was also in attendance at Sam's birthday celebrations, as the official DJ for the party. Tony has previously praised his pal for her new lifestyle after ditching her hedonistic lifestyle.
